Full details
The Essential Trimmings Pom Pom Trim in green is a versatile decorative accessory designed for crafters, fashion designers, and home decor enthusiasts looking to add a playful, textured element to their projects. Its primary benefit is providing a high-quality, easy-to-apply decorative border that functions as an excellent alternative to traditional piping, though users should note that the trim is sold by the metre, necessitating accurate measurement of the project area before purchase.

FAQs
Can I buy this in lengths longer than one metre?
Yes, as it is sold by the metre, you can order the total length required for your project as a continuous piece.
Is the green color uniform across different orders?
Essential Trimmings maintains high production standards, but slight dye lot variations can occur. It is best to order the total amount needed at one time.
Can this trim be used on outdoor furniture?
This trim is primarily designed for indoor craft, fashion, and soft furnishings and may not withstand prolonged UV exposure or moisture.
How do I attach this to a pre-made item?
You can hand-stitch the header of the trim to the edge of the item using a blind stitch for a clean, hidden finish.
Is the trim iron-safe?
Use caution. Iron on the reverse side of the fabric and avoid direct contact with the pom poms, as they are made from synthetic fibers that can melt under high heat.
Troubleshooting
Pom poms are caught in the sewing machine needle.
Use a zipper foot to keep the needle away from the pom pom bulbs, and increase your stitch length slightly to prevent tension issues.
Trim is fraying at the cut end.
Apply a very small drop of clear fabric glue or fray check to the cut edge and let it dry completely before attaching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the trim, use a standard zipper foot on your sewing machine to get as close to the pom pom base as possible without stitching into the balls themselves. Ensure you use a thread color that matches the fabric or the trim's green shade for a seamless look. For care, it is highly recommended to hand wash items adorned with this trim to maintain the integrity and shape of the pom poms. If machine washing is necessary, place the item inside a mesh laundry bag and use a delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this may cause the pom poms to fray or shrink.
